When the cold, emotionless voice came from the helmet, Soshyan almost thought it was a servitor, because it was difficult for normal people to make that kind of metallic voice - the other party's voice system had probably been modified.
.
Soshyan still knew a thing or two about the rumors that the warriors of the Iron Hands worshiped metal and would carry out a large number of mechanized transformations on themselves.
"Brother Yosip Suarez, this is the commander-in-chief of the Maelstrom Expeditionary Force and the chapter leader of the Astral Knights Chapter, Soshyan Alexei."
When the iron-hand warrior looked at him, Soshyan could almost feel the various scanning rays sweeping across his body.
"Hello, Commander-in-Chief."
"General Commander Soshyan, this Brother Yosip Suarez, as you can see, comes from the Iron Hands Chapter, is a member of the Bogus clan, and is also a technical sergeant who is studying."
Clan, if Soshyan remembers correctly, is the unique company organization of the Iron Hands.
After the second establishment of the army, the broken Iron Hands Legion partially accepted the Codex Astartes, but they did not use the Codex according to the instructions. They absorbed the reasonable ideas from the Codex with a highly rational and procedural thinking mode.
At the same time, it retained and improved many of the original traditions and models of the Iron Hands; and organically combined the two, ultimately creating the Iron Hands as a highly rigorous and organized war group in the war group era.
architecture.
First they reorganized their personnel, and then divided them into ten clans, which were coordinated by an organization called the Iron Council. Perhaps the scars caused by the Horus Heresy were too great for the Legion, and the Iron Hands believed that the Chapter should not and should not be allowed to do so again.
It is permanently ruled by a single person, and the solution proposed for this is that daily affairs are decided by the clan itself, and major matters are discussed and voted by the Iron Fathers elected from each clan in the Iron Council.
In the event of a war, a war leader will be selected from among the Iron Fathers and given temporary decision-making powers.
In this case, each clan not only has the power to handle affairs independently, but also has its own independent arsenal. Different clans will also specialize their fighting styles and even create their own unique clan relics, and even some clan relics.
The weapons may all be sacred objects created in the era of Ferus, and due to the Iron Hands' preference for armored power and their close relationship with the Mechanicus, the armory of any clan is very large, making everyone
Clan have the ability to initiate large-scale battles on their own.
On the other hand, the Iron Hands have a high degree of unity despite their seemingly decentralized organization. For example, although each clan recruits soldiers separately, after joining the regiment, the new recruits will first go to the Dolfok clan to fight as scouts.
Only after completing a certain number of kills can you be promoted to your original clan. Such a ten-person combat system means that the Iron Hands do not have a corresponding reserve company like the Holy Code, but this also allows them to often combine all
All ten clans are involved in the battle, because each of them has an independent system that can perform all tasks from replenishment to combat, and the clan's specialization in all-out combat allows the Iron Hands to often exert extraordinary combat effectiveness.
This is probably all Soshyan knows about the Iron Hands Chapter.
"Hello, brother Josip Suarez."
Just after saying hello, Soshyan suddenly remembered a question.
What does an Iron Hand come to Reza to learn? Shouldn't the study of a technical sergeant be going to Mars? How come he came to Reza?
As if knowing that Soshyan would have such a question, Ultramok explained without waiting for him to ask:
"Brother Yosip was very interested in the teachings of Omnissiah's Fire Blood, and at the same time he was tired of the over-conservatism of Mars, so he gave up going to Mars to study and came to us for further study, but he also got angry because of it.
Iron Father, who was friends with Mars in the clan, was punished by being exiled for a hundred years, during which he was not allowed to return to the war group. He has been here for twenty years."
This is a bit interesting. After all, the relationship between the Iron Hands and the Mechanicus is well known, especially Mars, but now there is such a person.
Soshyan was a little curious as to why the Iron Hand warrior was interested in Reza's teachings, but after all, this was someone else's private matter, and he didn't really ask, and the Omnissian Flame-Blooded Sect could only be said to be not mainstream.
But it is not a heresy, and the character of the Iron Father who exiled others for this reason does not seem to be very good.
"I see."
Seeing that Soshyan did not continue to say anything, the Great Sage Ultramok looked at the Iron Hand technical sergeant.
"Brother Yosip, Commander of the Soshiyan Chapter, is about to lead an expedition against the Badab sector and the Maelstrom area. Your works and research and development will be put to use."
After a moment of silence, Yosip said eloquently:
"Understood, join the expedition, yes, I will bring the wrath of the Emperor and Omnissiah to the heretics."
Soshyan was a little puzzled. The great sage of Ultramok mysteriously brought him here just to let an Iron Hand join the expedition?
"Captain Soshyan, Brother Yosip may not talk much, but his talents and abilities are very strong, and he will definitely be of great help to you."
Soshyan nodded noncommittally.
"Of course, every gun and every bullet is important."
But in fact, he really doesn't think that an Iron Hand can be of much use. No matter how good his skills are, he is nothing more than a master of forging. Maybe it is very useful in the scale of the battle group, but it doesn't make much sense in the expeditionary force.
, but it’s always good to have more people. Maybe we can have some contact with Iron Hands in the future.
Now, probably we can only let him help take care of the armory first.
"Brother Yosip, let Commander Soshyan see your work."
After hearing this, Yosip turned around silently, walked to the end of the workshop, and pressed a switch.
Accompanied by the sound of heavy metal friction, the heavy gate slowly rose, revealing a huge object that made Soshyan's eyes widen.
This looks like an enlarged version of a tank, with a black iron color all over, four front and rear tracks, a thick chassis and body, and a head like the bow of a battleship, with three huge twin main guns.
The latter layout is distributed on the car body, and there are a large number of secondary turrets and rocket launchers around it.
The most shocking thing is that according to Soshyan's visual inspection, the length of the entire machine is nearly three hundred meters! And the height is at least fifty meters!
